Sephy’s Platzish

The update this week is going to be quite short as I have only begun to scratch the surface of my reader - marking all read really helps sometimes, especially when you have 1000+ unread in one folder alone. I still have a couple hundred unread articles as it is though.

Posts I liked -

• Mr. Brown (of the Mr. Brown show) has a couple of excellent Thai commercials posted on his site - Cheers Beer - which is a lighter commercial; and Thai Insurance - which are very touching ads.
• There’s finally a PageRank update going on! Andy has some details, and so does Meg. Personally, I got a 4, and I am very happy with that - it’s an improvement over what my old rank was.
• Tay had a great article recently about advertising on your blog; I hadn’t linked to it yet, but since I’m kind of short on things to link to, here ya go - Start making more money and sell your own ads. I think as long as you do it with nofollow on, you’re ok with Google.

New blogs this week in the US Blogs community at BumpZEE -

• Principled Discovery - URL Change
• Healthy Food
• billrowell.com
• It’s not so hot on my yacht
• Henson’s Hell

Keywords -

• kick someone out of a group skype chat - you can’t, unfortunately. You’ll have to start a new chat with just the folks you want in that case
• how to dress like a doctor - Um, buy a stethoscope and put it around your neck? A white lab coat won’t hurt either.
• 747-400b - I’d love to ride in one of these one day. Either that or an A380
• chasers where the bloody hell are you - Why aren’t their spoof ads airing yet?
• sephyroth google blogger robots.txt - You do know I have a site search here, right? It’s not the greatest, but surely it’s better than google, hehe

This week around the blog, I talked about What’s next for me, along with a site you all need to check out. Also, I dragged out the slow cooker and used some wine that I bought.

In the Tuesday Think Tank, the topic was Skype. Snos showed you how you can save tons of money by using Skype - All About Skype - Tech Tuesday, and I filled everyone in on the basics of installing, signing up and finding folks with Skype - A Phenomenal Tool for Communication.

Coming up this week. Well, I have no clue, I haven’t planned out my blog for the rest of the week; anyone have any ideas of what I could write about? I’ve got a list of things here; I’ll have to dig that out and see what I haven’t done yet… However, NaBloPoMo starts on Thursday, and I’m in it officially this time.
